The iPad and Granddad.

August 3, 2010

I’ve written a few posts on the user implications of the iPad and changes to behavior that I’ve observed. You can find these here. Imagine my delight to find the BMWMOA International Rally had WiFi everywhere! It was excellent, consistent and delivered at high speed. Despite there being 6109 attendees there wasn’t the pressure on [...]

LogMeIn – DOESN’T WORK AS ADVERTISED – If You Use a Mac Don’t Waste Your Money

July 9, 2010

It’s not often I feel misled by a product and the hoopla surrounding it. LogMeIn Ignition for iPad/iPhone (see below for their description) is misrepresented on their site.

I much prefer it for reading, over both my iPhone and my laptop. Something tactile and satisfying about scrolling and turning pages [...]

iPad Observation #2 Content and Reading – Reinventing the Paper

April 5, 2010

I’m typing this post on my iPad using my “mac” bluetooth keyboard. I’ve done very little typing on it otherwise. Why? Well I was told it was for consumption and so I’ve been “consuming”.

What the iPad means to your next iPhone purchase! Observation #1 Speed

April 5, 2010

I’m not ready to write my review (if I ever am) on the iPad. It’s intriguing, it does things very well that make it compelling and it’s still a work in progress. So I’m more likely to write a few observations about the iPad over the next little while. Observation #1 I won’t be buying [...]
